About two weeks ago, my wife and I moved into a 100-year-old bungalow here in Austin, Texas. When you decide to move into an older house you expect certain things aren’t going to work. Each day you add to a checklist of all the things you’re going to need to fix.
That’s the easy part. The hard part is getting the right people to fix what’s broken.
In addition to managing my team here at Brand Growth Experts and producing the Ecommerce Influence podcast, I’ve been coordinating electricians, plumbers, and painters to fix things at our house. Construction workers in Austin are so busy right now that getting people to show up is like herding cats. It’s been a lot of work and inspired today’s episode about managing a team.
In this episode, I’m going to walk through the framework I use to accomplish more with my team in much less time. Enjoy!
